2016 Gaja Barbaresco
Country:Ā Italy
Region:Ā Piedmont
Vintage:Ā 2016
CĆ©page:Ā Nebbiolo (100%)
Size: 750 ml
Rating(s): 96 (RP); 94 (JD); 96 (JS)
" The 2016 vintage is characterized by the solid intensity and firmness of its aromas, which transcend fruit and veer toward balsamic herb, licorice, tar and smoke instead. The tannins offer a moment of sweetness and softness, before you are aware of their undeniable firmness. In all, there is a certain glossiness or satiny quality to the mouthfeel that underlines the wine's carefully crafted integration. I would describe this as a classic and also a somewhat austere Barbaresco that fully deserves extra cellar time to stretch those tight muscles and grow in volume. This wine will award those who wait."
